Kreator 5집 - Coma of Souls (1996) by Kreator (보컬) on maniadb.com

Savage heat is searing
Global warming has begun
Mother Earth is reeling
No protection from the sun
Forest fires are raging
While the rivers turn to ice
Foolish man creating
Mother Nature's cruel demise

Hailstorms, tornadoes
Cold spells, untimely frosts
Heat waves and blizzards
Global death's the cost

Faces the end of time
As we plunge headlong towards the day
Can't deny the signs
When the sun burns red
The earth will turn
From blue to gray

Winter turns to summer
Then the seasons disappear
No one needs a prophet
To explain what's all too clear
Oceans overflowing
Islands drowning everywhere
Leaders wouldn't admit it
Now they're crying in despair

Hailstorms, tornadoes
Cold spells, untimely frosts
Heat waves and blizzards
Global death's the cost

Face the end of time
As we plunge headlong towards the day
Can't deny the signs
When the sun burns red
The earth will turn
From blue to gray

Now rain shall wash away sad remains of man
Cities once so proud will crumble into sand
Buildings all collapse when all is done and said
The guilty ones will die with the innocent...
When the sun burns red

Masters of war
Merchants of false peace
Bleeding the lives of the lost
Feeding them terminal disease
Breaking the rules

No matter who gets hurt
Wholesaling useless trash
Charging twice what it's worth

Freedom of thought a mirage
The coma is endless and deep
Feeling so worldly and wise
Fooled by the friends that we keep

Spirits on ice
They'll never be free

One-dimensional lives
Will the coma of souls outlive eternity

Children are pawns
For generals to play with and kill
Mercy will never be found
Where mayhem is done for the thrill
Righteous crusades
Murder to honor a god ?
No one is saved
Dead bodies shrivel and rot

(Second chorus)

SOLO - FRANK
SOLO - MILLE

Deep in the unconscious mind
Lies the oldest wisdom
Buried by centuries
Of war and inquisition
Truth is raped and crucified
By men with savage brains
And greed flows forth in endless waves
>From fools to wretched slaves

Don't look at me as if I didn't know
Your vanity is all you ever show
What you believe and advocate
Fanatic dogma recycled from yesterday

Got a master plan
Genocide
Can't understand
People of the lie

You are to me the waste of flesh and blood
I'd love to see you buried in the mud
And when you die no one will shed a tear
So pass me by don't need your hatred here

Got a master plan
Genocide
Can't understand
People of the lie

Prejudice, intolerance, eye for an eye

[SOLO - FRANK]

You cannot hide behind those empty claims
Your racist pride is nothing but a game
And you will lose for right is on the side
Of those who choose to fight for humankind

Got a master plan
Genocide
Can't understand
People of the lie

You can't believe
Don't be deceived

Reach for the reaper's scythe
Sailing the river Styx
Watching the other side
Casting an ancient hex
Journey to the gates of hell
Dying to break the bond
Nothing but a soul to sell
No room in satan's pond

Fearless mind
Ghost explores
Spectre flies
Journey to the world beyond

Casting off spheres of pain
Revel in joy you've found
Laughing as colours fade
Flying free and unbound
The bargain has been kept
From beyond the gate souls call
It's too late for regrets
On deaf ears pleading falls

Fearless mind
Ghost explores
Spectre flies
Journey to the world beyond

[SOLO - MILLE]
[SOLO - FRANK]

Fearful mind
Spectre trapped
No return
Welcome to the world beyond

My inner eye sees many spheres
A cruel dimension where time and space
Distort beyond control
A ride to another center of the Universe
My thoughts come undone make me see
The dark stains on my soul

A darkness as cold as ice surrounds me in this place
I probe a veiled phobia, all my own
Creatures crawl out from my weirdest,
Wildest dreams
They are flesh, not fantasy,
They drag me inside the...
Terror zone

Demons, ghouls, and fiends that once
I could ignore
Shred the skin and flesh from my bones
Planets form and die,
The cosmos torment me
Unnatural, humongous, never ending...
Terror zone

Now I know what dwells within me
Blood - a river of sweat and tears
Flesh - a land God left behind
Soul - a sky of cloudy fears
Deception and disguise
Dissolve before my inner eyes
My heart turns to stone
God, I'm all alone
Oh, no!
All alone

Terror zone...

Minutely planned professional crime assassination at night
Cold-blooded killers on a midnight hunt for a girl who cannot
fight
Kidnapped, tortured, skinned alive victim of wanton abuse
Without protection a life is lost condemned for speaking the
truth

Manic
Panic will you suffer endlessly
From agents of brutality

Speak the truth pay the price
The unjust reign the innocent cry

Abomination in the dead of night
Polished metal gleams
Deadly weapons in the hands of beasts
Another martyr screams
A victim cringes, staggers, falls and struggles to live on
But soon enough their mission done
The spark of life is gone

Manic
Panic will you suffer endlessly
From agents of brutality

Torment
Murder you will die a thousand times
Before they finally let you die

[SOLO - MILLE]

Speak the truth pay the price
The unjust reign the innocent cry

[SOLO - FRANK]

[SOLO - FRANK]

Dehumanization through industrialization
Bring fear to the masses of reincarnation
Manic frustration deterioration
Nature fights back for its own preservation

Concrete coffin breeds lunacy
Cold steel skeleton
Desperation in the factory
Crank out oblivion

Material world paranoia
Corporations rule the earth
Material world paranoia
Enslavery begins at birth

Power's illusion brings global confusion
A forgone conclusion of mind's evolution
Nature's destruction through massive production
A blatant example of mindless construction

Concrete coffin breeds lunacy
Cold steel skeleton
Desperation in the factory
Crank out oblivion

Material world paranoia

Don't dream about how life can be
Experience your dreams
Before this prefab culture wastes your life
Stay on the straight and narrow course
Material wealth is yours
But the promise of a better future is a lie

[SOLO - MILLE]

The promise of a better future is nothing but a lie

Fulfilling morbid dreams
Of those who never have time to sleep
Enduring to extremes
Held by a promise that they won't keep
Dark silence is so real
Walls painted black as night
Locked up in chains of steel
Down in the cellar nothing is right

Mistress of perversity
Unwilling tool of other's lust
Witnessing abnormality
With no one left to trust
Hell couldn't be this bad
Sold by her father to gratify
She never had a chance
Raped, beaten, sodomized

Her martyred soul cries out
Yet no one hears her scream
Her world is fear and doubt
She's a prisoner of this grotesque scene

[SOLO - MILLE]
[SOLO - FRANK]

Mistress of perversity
She never had a chance
Raped, beaten, sodomized
Twisted urges drove her to the end

No shape, no form, no brain, no mind
But the power to control all resistance
Its awesome might cannot be denied

By the world that ignores its existence

Older than time - stranger than life
Don't look for a sign without warning it will arrive

It can read your mind
See the world inside
Oversees your life
Decides the day you die
Silent lifetaker
Sentient creator
Worlds recoil in fear
Of the hidden dictator

[SOLO - FRANK]
[SOLO - MILLE]

Presence beyond our imagination
Horrible being of fate
Not one sign of its domination
God prays it never awakes

Older than time - stranger than life
Don't look for a sign without warning it will arrive

It can read your mind
See the void inside
Oversees your life
Decides the day you die
Silent lifetaker
Sentient creator
Worlds recoil in fear
Of the hidden dictator

Worlds have risen, lived and died under its obscene command
Kept the balance of galaxies in its omnipotent hands

[SOLO - FRANK]

Minds of greedy distortion
All are destroyed in its wake
It judges the worth of the low forms of life
Who cower and quiver and quake

Some may call it the savior
Fall to their bellies and pray
Some will try to resist in the hope they'll exist
To experience just one more day

And the lost shall pray for forgiveness
And the fearful and weak start to scream
As the terrible nightmare of a dying world
Becomes beauty beyond any dream

One world must end
New ones begin
A pure life form
From death is born
Silent lifemaker
Sentient creator
The new world is blessed by the hidden dictator

Land of solitude
A place of horror dark and cruel
There's no need to seek the truth
Opinions are provided for you
Innocence of youth
Full of visionary fantasies
From subconscious laboratories
Try to break the chains of barbarity

Servants to mother machine
Nursed by video screens
Paradise of insanity
Born into a grave of

Mental slavery
Lost in dark reality
Mental slavery

Memories of the past
Holy empires of harmony
Visions only children see
Are soon removed by society
Replaced by numbing fear
The horror show of rules sets in
Total control of thought begins
Another car on the highway of sin

Servants to mother machine
Nursed by video screens
Paradise of insanity
Born into a grave of

Mental slavery
Lost in dark reality
Mental slavery

Just one of a million slaves
An expendable commodity
This song's for those who serve
The system of terror
That rules the earth
